I cant help but worry cus i dont get the impression my OH is enjoying parent-hood. Dont get me wrong, its clear he loves his little boy and hes a good daddy. But when we cant get Oliver to settle and he wakes us up for a feed in the night my OH doesnt seem to have much patience and raises his voice. He is sometimes quite selfish aswel. For example we where out shopping the other day and Oliver had sticky eyes..by the afternoon he couldnt open them they where so swollen and sore so i said i was taking him doctors right away and my OH went really grumpy and started moaning about how we never get a day to ourselves any more..i went barmy! Never mind shoppin, our son is poorly for gods sake! He seems to wish Olivers life away aswel. He'll often say he cant wait til he is older so he can get some sleep..i dont want him to be older, i dont wanna miss any of these precious moments we have right now. I have tried talkin to him and this leads to a big row Then finally he will apologise and say he didnt mean it..but then he does it all over again. I just want him to enjoy his son and make the most of the time he has with him as a newborn cus he'll never be this young again. I tell him hes just a tiny innocent baby and doesnt understand and that raising his voice wil only upset him more. i understand its hard-it is for me too. and its normal to feel frustrated etc... but i have to be strong and put on a happy face for Oliver and my OH 's behaviour gets me angry. x
